Byggebo's CEO gets private miles paid by the tenants - equivalent to two laps around the world

In the last five years, the CEO has driven privately more than 8,400 miles, roughly two laps around the world - and it is the company that footed the bill.

But when SVT calls to ask questions about the arrangement, the housing authority hangs up.

- You can manage without me, says Ingelsjö, before hanging up.

"So his deal looks like"

We therefore do not get an answer to the question of how the car is actually used privately.

It is about a new Mercedes-Benz CLA 350, model year is 2026, with extra options such as premium package and massage function in the seats. It is described as a car in the premium class and is a leasing car.

Byggebo's board chairman Frida Bergvall (S) has no views on how the car is used.

- He is benefit taxed and that is what his agreement looks like, she says.

Written in 2009

On average, the car has traveled 1,700 km privately per year for the past five years, and 500 km in the service. Frida Bergvall was not the one who signed the agreement with Ingelsjö in 2009. It was the then chairman of the board, Ulf Nilsson.

- I would not sign such an agreement if we were to get a new CEO.

Why?

- I think it is better to work with salary levels instead. It is clearer.

Is it justified to have a preferential car and free fuel when he drives so much more privately than in the service?

- Now this is how his contract looks, so I have no views on it.

Highest salary and most vacation days

But Ingelsjö's agreement also stands out in other ways. He has 48 vacation days and a monthly salary of SEK 148,500. It is both the highest salary and the most vacation days of the agreements we reviewed.

The other housing top in Kronoberg and Kalmar county who has a preferential car is Andreas Horste at Västerviks Bostads AB - but according to that agreement he must pay for the fuel himself.
